The killing of former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Sabundu Alex Badeh is a stark reminder of the state of insecurity in our land. May God grant strength and comfort to his family to bear this irreparable loss.

The killing of former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh by unknown gunmen is quite unfortunate and a terrible news just like the case of General Idris Alkali who was abducted and later killed. pic.twitter.com/kYyx9YJ5Qp

What goes around comes around!

You were divinely saddled with the responsibility of securing Nigeria and Nigerians, and you did a sloppy job at it. Then you became a victim.

I hope we all learn that those who live in glass houses must never throw stones!

RIP sha, Alex Badeh. pic.twitter.com/vzijR73cDV

Alex Badeh a former chief of defence staff was shot dead.

Small fight on the road, you will be screaming, "do you know who I am?, you sabi who I be?"

Baba, Nigeria does not care about who you are! Stay safe!

On Badeh I'll quote Mark Twain – "I've never killed a man, but I've read many obituaries with great pleasure."

Badeh's big crime in my book was not the ₦3.9 billion that vanished under his watch. It was abandoning his OWN village to #BokoHaram, and evacuating only his family.

Alex Badeh

Too many lessons & questions.

A former Chief of Defense staff-entitled to armed security both at home,work,& in transit. Where were they?

He was gunned down in cold blood.

A victim of the insecurity he helped deepen with mismanagement of military resources.

Karma.

Alex Badeh knew something, Chairman of Credit switch knew something, Offa Robbery KingPin knew something.

The level of injustice in this country is appalling. This too would go uninvestigated. What a country.

If Alex Badeh, a former Chief of defense staff and 4-star General can be easily ambushed and killed just like that, then I don’t even know again. Let’s just vote God in the 2019 elections.
